To my friend...

Dear Friend,

I wanted to write this to thank you. I thank you for being my friend, because your friendship means more to people than you may know. I used to think that I would always go unnoticed, or that I wasn't "cool" enough to be friends with as many dear and loving friends as I have now, but you, along with many others, have shown me that this is not true. We have grown in our friendship over these past couple years, and I only hope that it blossoms even more in the future.
I want to thank you for the small things, because even those mean something to me. Thank you for encouraging me on the running track. Thank you for coming to my birthday party. Thank you for waiting for me to get out of my car then walking with me to the school doors. Thank you for coming over to me just to talk about the ridiculous price of the pop-tarts in the vending machine. How much these moments mean to me may not be apparent, but I hope that one day you will realize what a wonderful friend you have been.

God bless,
Emma
